Just a few more sleeps now! Santa has booked his express sled, Marina's got the hair in rollers and I've polished the baton for the "loveliest night of the year" (to borrow a quote from Ray Martin). Rehearsals are well underway for another wonderful Carols by Candlelight. Watch out for a beautiful carol from Ricki-Lee, a big moment from David Hobson, a popular classic from Marina Prior, a jazzy moment from James Morrison, and an original song from Silvie Paladino that will echo around the Bowl. The orchestra is tuning now!

Enjoy - and have a wonderful Christmas. And happy Hanukkah!
